MGFEMS – stairwells 120914

December 12/09 I had the privilege to spend several hours photographing the interior of Maree Farring Elementary Middle School in Brooklyn , MD just up 3rd Street from the Brooklyn Enoch Pratt Free Library. The purpose of the dark navy blue paint was to prevent the children’s writing and drawing from being visible on the walls. Without knowing the history my hunch was that the children did not have an adequate creative outlet so they expressed themselves on the walls.
